Thank you. I like it too. It’s a bit more subtle than the blue dial version.

I love this watch.

Wish my wrist was big enough to carry it.

It doesn’t wear that big. My wrist is about 17 cm.

I prefer watches with a diameter of up to 40 mm but this is still okay. The thickness is more an issue for me than the diameter.

One of my friends (who’s much bigger and taller than me) has 4 skydwellers.

Yes, 4. I tried them on so many times but just can’t pull it off.
